Chapter 255
But Calliope was surprisingly calm when she saw the photo. The woman in the picture was someone she recognized.
In Capitalton’s elite circles, this woman had a bit of a reputation. Calliope knew her, and she knew there was some connection between this woman and Silas. Rumor had it that Silas took care of her.
But what Calliope couldn’t figure out was who had sent her this picture and what they intended by it.
The message came with an address. She could guess that the sender wanted her to catch Silas in the act.
But she was hardly interested in such theatrics. She didn’t believe for a second that Silas was genuinely interested in this woman.
The woman was clever and capable, sure, but she wasn’t Silas’s type. If she had been, they would have been an item long ago based on their history.
So, Calliope dismissed it.
She wondered what kind of person would do something so trivial. If it had been the woman Silas actually had feelings for, she might have been more intrigued. But this woman? She really didn’t care.
Ignoring the message, she continued her conversation about work.
“This project should proceed as discussed. Follow my instructions, and when it comes to casting, I’ll attend the auditions p>
“Alright, I’ll notify the director p>
“Great, Ms. Jewell. I’ll be leaving now p>
“Okay.” Calliope nodded.
After wrapping up her meeting, Calliope headed to the hospital. She had picked up some snacks and toys that Baber liked.
Upton and the others had already sorted out the discharge paperwork by the time she arrived.
“Mommy, we’re leaving now!” Baber looked at Calliope with a touch of sadness. He hugged her and gazed up at her, “When are you coming to Sea City? If you visit, we’ll show you around p>
“I’ll probably come by around Christmas.” Calliope tousled Baber’s hair. “If I have time, I’ll come visit you! Here, this is for you p>
“Wow! Thanks, Mommy!”Baber eagerly accepted the gifts Calliope gave him.
“Open them slowly when you get home. If you feel unwell, remember to tell me and take your medicine on time, alright p>
“Got it!” Baber saluted playfully.
Calliope chuckled, then turned to Upton. “If anything comes up, keep me in the loop. If I can, I’ll come check in p>
“Sure thing.” Upton nodded. “Is Silas not coming p>
“No, he had some business to attend to,” Calliope replied.
Upton nodded. “Alright, we’re off then. Take care, and remember, it anyone makes things hard for you, you’ve got friends in Sea City can come to Capitalton if needed”
“Got it.” Calliope saw them off, watching as they drove away.
Only after they were gone did she turn around.
“They’re gone now, so whatever you wanted to ask, you won’t get an answer.” She looked over to where Zelda and Valerian were lurking in the corner.
They emerged, visibly frustrated.
“Calliope, don’t believe you don’t know where the Miracle Doctor is You must know, right?” Zelda squinted suspiciously. What puzzled her was that she’d heard the child was cured.
But they had been keeping an eye on them and hadn’t seen any sign of this supposed miracle doctor. When they tried asking around at the hospital, no one knew anything.
“Yeah, I do know.” Calliope crossed her arms. “I’ve mentioned it before, but no
one believed me p>
“She mentioned it?” Zelda looked at Valerian.
“No,” Valerian frowned, thinking. He was sure Calliope had never said anything.
